@ smiley.george: I've never seen anyone miss the point by THAT MUCH before.
@nondescript: Eh?

The best approach is to proportion your belief to the evidence. Where there is overwhelming evidence, a strong belief is justified (with the proviso that it *could* still be wrong). Where there is limited evidence, it's wise to have only a tentative belief. Where there is no evidence at all, any belief is unjustified.

sure, Sovereign God's will is truthfully accomplished. He overrules the plans of adult adult males to fulfill His purposes. God hates sin yet He helps it for the extra suitable sturdy, additionally to fulfill His purposes. Isaiah 40 six:9-10 bear in mind the former issues of old, For i'm God, and there is not any different; i'm God, and there is none like Me, 10 putting forward the top from the commencing up, And from historic circumstances issues that are actually not yet accomplished, asserting, ‘My information shall stand, and that i'll do all My excitement. Proverbs sixteen:9 a guy's coronary heart plans his way, however the LORD directs his steps.

Disagree. I dont know everything but I do know somethings. For example I don't know all this physics stuff and really complex math (like advanced calculus) but I do know a lot of things. So I can't just believe in "anything" cause I've learned about germs and US history and that certain things are fiction (sorry Keebler Elves and Disney princesses). So I just can't believe that germs don't exist, or that the US is currently made up of 24 states, or that Disney's Cinderella is real. I do know that is wrong, and I can't believe it.
Don't you agree?

Could you believe that there was no cats in the world...or that death never took place?
The question is more what are you willing to believe...since you could convince yourself that something isn't happening that does happen daily, like with persecution in China. It happens, but not everyone beliefs it does, despite that we don't know everything this is a great folly, a misstep in the wrong direction.
The truth is, that anything you set your mind onto...you can make yourself believe it. Even if it is without a doubt, not the truth.

No, it's because we know some things that we can choose decisively what we believe. Just because we'll never know everything about the world and about everybody, doesn't mean that we believe everything like gullable blondes. How can you believe in two opposite things? For example, how can you believe in abortion and believe that it's wrong? It's conflicting.

You don't need to know everything to believe something. You can't know things in the absolute sense. But we can know things to the extent that we know anything. As long as things stay relatively consistent, our working knowledge of things is sufficient.

Disagree. You should never believe everything. We're Americans. We believe in asking questions and Challenging everything.
So go on America, take your time, challenge the one true God to show himself true in your life, and see what happens.

You can certainly believe in anything you want. You can do that in prison! You don't have to ask permission, just go ahead and believe whatever strikes you at the moment.

Yep, you got it.
The source of my agnosticism stems entirely from that assertion. I guess I'm just not atheist enough to state nihilism as fact when I don't know for sure.
But all that BS about God and creationism is just too far out there to believe, even for a moment.
